The portal of the Gur-Emir mausoleum is one of the most impressive elements of this architectural complex. Its grandeur and sophistication immediately attract attention and leave no one indifferent. The portal is decorated with numerous ornaments and calligraphic inscriptions made in the traditional Islamic style, which symbolizes the high skill of the architects of that era. 🌟
In the center of the portal there is an arch that leads to the mausoleum itself, and is decorated with exquisite geometric patterns and images of plants. The colors and textures used for the decoration enhance the feeling of nobility and sanctity of this place. Deep blue and turquoise colors combined with gold details create an atmosphere of solemnity and grandeur. 🎨
The portal of the Gur-Emir mausoleum is not only the entrance to the tomb itself, but also a symbol of the transition from the earthly to the spiritual. He embodies the grandeur of the Timurid era and its cultural heritage. 🌍

The first building that greets you when visiting the Gur-Emir mausoleum. Nicely. Next to the mausoleum there were madrasahs and khanaka (not preserved). Burials of famous personalities were also held there, but not Temurids, now their numerous tombstones stand near the portal on the remains of these structures.
A must-visit for anyone who wants to get in touch with history and architecture. The place of worship where the mausoleum of Amir Timur is located. Entrance to the mausoleum itself is paid 40,000 soums.
It's a great place.
It is very beautiful and historical.
There are good neighborhoods with guest houses and restaurants nearby.
Samarkand may be the old capital, but thanks to such places it is very memorable to this day.
The splendor of Islamic religious architecture. A two - arched portal decorated with beautiful stalactites .
Unfortunately, in spring and autumn, after 9 a.m., a very solid queue forms to get inside. I recommend coming early or in the evening.
A very beautiful and fascinating and majestic mausoleum of Samarkand. There are a lot of elements made of gold leaf and semi-precious stones inside. I want to consider each element. The area around the mausoleum is clean, well-groomed.
One of the most beautiful places in Samarkand.
There is a small garden around, the trees of which create shade. Inside, the tomb is inlaid with blue and gold patterns.
Entrance is paid.
A good complex, take a guide, he will tell you everything, but there is a moment when you pass behind the memorial they will tell you there are tunnels of old Svmarkand in the basement, and there is a store and a theatrical program and you will buy something many times more expensive than on the street, be fooled by it)))
Gur Emir is the mausoleum of Tamerlane, as well as his mentor Mir Sayyid Barak. The Samarkand mausoleum "Gur-Emir" is considered the family tomb of the Timurids, that is, the descendants of Amir Temur. Tamerlane was one of the outstanding generals of Central Asia, was known not only for his military campaigns, but also for the construction of monumental structures.
The whole complex is of interest. You can see how much work has been invested in the restoration and preservation of the ensemble. And the entire historical heritage.
Our acquaintance with the ancient history of Samarkand began from this place. That's great! For those who come in hot weather, I recommend choosing points for shooting while standing in the shade of trees (the above picture was taken from one of the shady areas, and the second green shady place is visible outside the gate in the same picture). Filming inside the mausoleum is quite difficult due to the semi-darkness, so I recommend keeping an eye on the white balance: very delicate colors of internal ornaments combined with shadows are difficult to transfer to photos, especially "stalactites". But if they do, you won't regret it.
The history of the great empire of Tameralan once again surprises a person! I recommend visiting the magnificent city of Samarkand! The history of the XIV century inspires man!
I really liked it, as well as the whole of Samarkand. So everything is authentic, atmospheric. I was very lucky to have a guide. A person loves his city, knows his history.
A standard tourist place - everything is beautiful and well maintained.
The real sarcophagus of Tamerlane is located in the crypt under the Mausoleum and cannot be seen.
It is recommended to visit 👍
It's just a fairy tale, it feels like Aladdin is about to come out with his lamp in his hands and Princess Budur next to him. I have very good impressions, I advise you to visit.
Gur Emir is now covered in forests, repair work is underway. Therefore, it was not admired externally, but inside it is interesting to look at Tamerlane's mausoleum. Near the entrance to the complex there is a well, which at that time was filled with pomegranate juice for soldiers returning from campaigns.
One of the most beautiful sights of our city, the beauty inside is indescribable, a frequently visited place for local and foreign tourists. A guide who knows the whole story. It is with great pleasure that I will visit this beauty again
The centuries-old history... at the very least discovered something new in the ensemble. As it turned out, the central dome has 63 "folds", which is equal to the number of years of the Prophet Muhammad's life.
A beautiful place, in the backyard there is a descent to the basement with a souvenir shop. I advise you to start a walking trip around Samarkand with him.
It's a very beautiful place.I advise everyone to definitely visit if you are in Tashkent.entrance is paid as usual.25 or 30 thousand som.it won't work both ways)
